WMEQ-AM is a directional AM station which is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate at full power only during daytime hours. At night, beginning at local sunset, we must change to low power and night pattern.
 
Sunrise and sunset times change daily.  To simplify the changes in power and pattern, the FCC sets monthly sunrise and sunset times.  The table below indicates these times.  It should be noted that these are local times, adjusted for the change from Central Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time.
